Artwork Description:
Crocodile: The Water Spirit, is a sacred animal totem for many Dagara clans. He is known as a fierce protector, and is also a messenger of the Water Spirits, which are the healing beings in Dagara cosmology.
Crocodile is also known to be an emissary of the Ancestors, and those that claim crocodile as their animal totem, often believe that their spirit double is a crocodile in the wild.
Crocodiles are sought out by Diviners and wisdom keepers in Dagara culture, often to seek out rain to nourish the lands during farming season, they visit in medicine dreams to mark initiations and other ceremonial milestones, and when they emerge from the water to greet humans on the shore, it is understood as a good omen and blessing to those that witness the event.
Medicine Art Transmission:
Crocodile: The Water Spirit is waiting in the waters, watching for the right person to walk along the shores, so that he can emerge with good tidings and blessings for their life.
If that person is you, be prepared to receive the good flows of energy, connection to the Ancestors, and the potency of your spirit guides and relationship to the Divine. This piece is certain to speak to your heart, once it finds a place in your life and home.
